Do you relate?

There is a world of difference between people who stop their education at 18 and those who just keep learning, reading, growing, thinking, and writing.

What would happen in your life if you become 1% wiser every day?

Why don’t we understand each other anymore?

Because we talk about each other not to each other.

That creates toxicity in teams, in families, or in society at large.

One surprising answer is to turn off the digital noise along with all of the unnecessary complexity it produces. Think of the impact “red brain“ has on our relationships?

In EFFORTLESS, one suggestion is to have a “Done for the Day List“ and a “Done for the Day Time“. Just last night, as a family, we turned off all digital screens at 6pm. And the difference was palpable. We literally read to each other, we played in the pool, we talked, we listened to music and we got to bed. It was like a different life was waiting to come alive.

When our brains are at full capacity, everything feels harder. Fatigue slows us down. Outdated assumptions and emotions make new information harder to process. The countless distractions of daily life make it difficult to see our priority clearly.

So the first step towards making things effortless is to clear the clutter in our heads and our hearts. I call that being in the Effortless State.

You have likely experienced this before. It’s when you feel rested, at peace, and focused. You’re fully present in the moment. You have a heightened awareness of what matters here and now. You feel capable of taking the right action at the right time. You are in the zone.

Thank you to Liz Fosslien for the marvelous image below.

Past a certain point, more effort doesn’t produce better performance. It sabotages our performance.

When you focus on what you lack, you lose what you have.

When you focus on what you have, you get what you lack.
